TYPE 1N'rrrEsEr'r-ING memes vBuma L. creen, charlotte, N. c., mmm to SemagraphCompany, Dover, Del., a corporation of Delaware Application November 2,1929, Serial No. 404,381

l Renewed `lul'y 20, 1933 285 Claims.

This invention relates to means for automatically setting the type intype-setting machines, and more especially to the use of a control sheetwhich may be prepared by a reporter in a special typewriter, such as isdisclosed in my co-pending patent application, Serial Number 426,854,having letters and code, which sheet is adapted to be later transferredto mechanism adapted to co` operate with the type-setting machinewhereby the type-setting operation will be automatically performedwithout the necessity of the operation l of the key board on thetype-setting machine, by an operator.

Ari object of my invention is to provide means t5 for setting `typedirect from a type written page without the necessity of a type-settingoperator. Another object of my invention is to allow a reporter ortypist' -to write out a report and have a visible copy of the report asthe same is made, and at'the same time the report is written out therewill be printed in combination with the visible copy' certain codeindicia so that when the written copy is transferred to a specialapparatus adapted to cooperate with a type-setting u machine, that thetype-setting machine which is equipped with my mechanism willautomatically set the type from the report written out by the reporteror typist.

Another object of my invention is to provide a special apparatusassociated with a line-casting machine to operate from a control sheethaving imperforate code matter thereon, so that said sheet .can betransferred to the newspaper oiiice andimmediately placed in the specialapparatus adapted to cooperate with the type-setting machine toautomatically set the type without the necessity of a type settingoperator.

It is also evident thatvan electric typewriter can be provided with typebars thereon to print the control sheet, or.it can be printed, engravedor otherwise produced and forwarded to distant points, in the samemanner as mats and electrotypes are forwarded for publication.

Another object of my invention is to provide a typewritten report havingin connection with each letter a certain code which is adapted to beread by a special apparatus associated with the type-setting "machine,so as to automatically set the type by the type-setting machine in usingmy specially"prepared report, which comes from the typewriter, and saidtypewriter is adapted to bel operated by any ordinary typist, and doesnot require the skill of a type-setting operator, it being evident thatmistakes will be entirely eliminated because if a typewritten copy iswritten (Cl. ISS-18) out and properly proof read, and rendered perfectbefore being transferred to the type-setting machine, that thetype-setting machine will reproduce a perfect copy which will notrequire the necessity of a prooi reader to go over the proofs as in thecase where the personal equation of a type-setting operator enters intothe operation of the type-setting machine. I

Some of the objects of my invention having been stated other objectswill appear as the description proceeds when taken in connection withthe accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a view of the alphabetshowing the same in capital letters with my code associated therewith;
